Thoughts on leaving a job before 1 year? I was hired early this year to practice a specific area of law and that has not happened. Only get other types of cases. Confronted management and was told it is not going to happen, at minimum, over the next year. Expectations are clearly not being met. I don't want to look like a job hopper, but also don't want to do this kind of work and get pigeonholed. I do have interviews already set up, but still considering whether a move is the right choice.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
